More of a 2.5 star. I wish goodreads did half stars. This is an unusual book following the diaspora of the Hittites (by focusing on one soldier in particular) during the time of the Book of Judges. It's written for a YA audience, which is an interesting choice to say the least. It's a mishmash of cultures, complex theologies, and even more complex names. I don't think the story was particularly well written, but I did enjoy a look at a culture that isn't particularly well represented in historical fiction. There is zero character development going on here.
